Heavy
Flight Facilities Your Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He sure as hell knows
He can get low, he's so heavy
Don′t try to go where he goes
He sure as hell knows
One thing I know
He gets
(Low, low, low)
Fashion me a rope out of hoes
One thing I know
I won't go down any further
He says we're coming up for air
Like a fish in a boat
Like a rat in a corner
Don′t let the woman close
You gotta keep ′em on their toes
He says while paying out the gardenеr
He says one thing I know
Ooh, for sure, I know
I won't go down any furthеr
Don′t try to go where he goes
He sure as hell knows
He can get low, he's so heavy
Don′t try to go where he goes
He sure as hell knows
One thing I know
He gets
(Low, low, low)
He can get low
(He can get low, he's so heavy)
(Low, low, low)
Down any furthеr
(He can get low, he′s so heavy)
Lower and lower
You know he can't help but show ya
He gets low
(He can get low, he's so heavy)
Lower and lower
You know he can′t help but show ya
He gets low
(He can get low, he′s so heavy)
He can get low, he's so heavy
Don′t try to go where he goes
He sure as hell knows
He can get low, he's so heavy
Don′t try to go where he goes
He sure as hell knows
One thing I know
He gets
(Low, low, low)
You know how it goes
He can get low
Don't try to go where he goes
He sure as hell knows
He can get low, he′s so heavy
Don't try to go where he goes
He sure as hell knows
One thing I know
He gets
(Low, low, low)
You know how it goes
(He can get low, he's so heavy)
Low, low, low
(He can get low, he′s so heavy)
The song Heavy by Flight Facilities and Your Smith is about a man who is dangerous and heavy, and the singer warning people not to go near him. He knows how to take people down and make them feel low, and the singer adds that she won't go down any further. The lyrics imply that the man has an alluring quality that draws people in, but he is not someone to mess with. The chorus repeats the phrase "don't try to go where he goes, he sure as hell knows, he can get low, he's so heavy," emphasizing the warning to stay away from this individual.
The line "fashion me a rope out of hoes" might refer to the saying "when you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." The singer is acknowledging that she might be in a precarious situation but is determined not to make it worse. The man tells her they are coming up for air, but the comparison of this to a fish in a boat or a rat in a corner suggests that this might not be as comforting as it sounds.
Overall, the song Heavy is a cautionary tale about a man who is dangerous and heavy, and the importance of staying away from such people. The repeated use of the phrase "he can get low, he's so heavy" emphasizes the power this man has and the need to be careful around him.
